1st SAL.....Peg, Dale and I committed to stitching Anni Downs - A Gardener's Journal in March. I blogged about this on my blog thinking maybe one or 2 others may join us and lots of girls indicated an interest so I decided to start this blog where we can all encourage each other to meet the goals set along the way....March 2010 -March 2011...........
2nd SAL ......well so many of the girls wanted to continue on with another project and some new girls joined us and now approx 91 girls are stitching Natalie Bird's Tis the Season. March to Sept 2011...............
3rd SAL....many girls want to stick with the SAL so now we have moved onto Anni Downs Some Kind of Wonderful - My Favourite Things Quilt.......Oct 2011-Oct 2012.........

I did want a blue dress but............

I did want a blue dress but I already had too much blue in the quilt...........with big patches of
colour I just tried to balance the quilt colours when choosing fabrics for
the dresses............

5 Sleeps............stitch, stitch, stitch...........
Tally update..........

10 finishes
18 tops
congrats Holly and Pepe on your tops.....
I have a slight problem.............Just realised I have come away with my quilt but not the binding........and not sure what day I am going home..........bugger............I knew I should have grabbed it but I was a little rushed getting out the door yesterday morning..........and now I may be away a little longer.......
Keep Stitching............
